Hi Pedro, Welcome to the club - there are a number of ppl facing the exact same problem, but are unable to find answer.
Do let me know what you did if you find a solution. Manav. -----Original Message----- From: Pedro Salazar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 9:12 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: oracle+tomcat 4.1.x+dbcp = driverClassName is required! Greetings, Eric, I'm getting a "javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context" exception! I have a resource link inside my context (no resource here or resource-ref in web.xml): <resourceLink name="jdbc/ngincaredb" global="jdbc/ngincaredb_global" type="javax.sql.DataSource" /> and I'm doing a lookup in my code for "jdbc/ngincaredb": Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context)initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env"); this.ds = (DataSource)envCtx.lookup("/jdbc/ngincaredb"); So, what's wrong here? thanks, Pedro Salazar.
